Chapter Twenty-Three: The Philistine Disturbs Himself

Huo Roufeng pursed her lips, it has only been parked for two days, and Huo San can load the car, which is not fun at all.

At this moment, the feeling just now came again, she subconsciously turned to look, she thought that she would be like the previous two times, she couldn't see anything, but this time she was disappointed, she saw three figures not far away, although they were all wearing the old clothes of the dock coolies, but she recognized at a glance that these were the two men and one woman she met on the road.

Sure enough, it's them!

Huo Roufeng gritted her teeth, they lost their eyes when they were in Hangzhou, thinking that she was just a child of an ordinary family, so they let her escape, and later found out that she was a member of the Huo family of Yongfeng, so they tried every means to tie her up again, but she was at home in those days and did not go out alone, so they took advantage of her coming to Ningbo and wanted to tie her up in a foreign land.

Fortunately, I brought a few more people, so they didn't succeed.

From childhood to adulthood, Huo Roufeng heard the most sentence: be careful to shoot flowers.

She has never met a flower shooter, but she has been kidnapped three times, so when she encounters this kind of thing, like most children from rich families, this is the first thing that comes to mind.

"Zhang Shengping, do you see those three people?" She turned her head and dragged Zhang Shengping over.

Zhang Shengping hurriedly looked over, this time Huo Roufeng was stunned, the three people who were still mixed in a group of coolies just now were already missing at this time.

She stomped her feet angrily, but she didn't dare to stay on the dock anymore, and pulled Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling back to the inn.

The three masters and servants came and walked quickly, and Chang Sheng, who was directing the coolies to move goods and load the trucks, did not see them.

The five carts could only hold half of the cargo, and the rest of the cargo.

Chang Sheng looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, fortunately, God opened his eyes, these days are sunny, but this is not sloppy, who knows when it will rain.

He sighed, let the little servant Ah Bao who came with him watch, and he went to look for the car again.

Ah Bao is Huo San's person, he follows Huo San on weekdays, and in the past few days, he has heard a lot of complaints about Chang Sheng from Huo San's mouth, and when he saw Chang Sheng's support for him, although he promised on his lips, he was unhappy in his heart.

Chang Sheng went to look for the car, and Po watched the coolies move the goods basket by basket.

Suddenly, when a coolie turned around, he accidentally collided with someone behind him, and hit the wicker basket in his hand, and the sealed lid was knocked open by a crack. A few golden hook shrimp leaked out.

Ah Bao saw them hit the basket from a distance, and saw that some goods fell out, so he walked up quickly and reprimanded loudly: "Hairy, you have spilled all the good goods, this goods are very expensive, can you afford to pay for your wages?" ”

The coolie was squatting on the ground picking up shrimp, and when he heard Ah Bao say this, he was not happy, and handed the shrimp he picked up from the ground to Ah Bao: "Little brother, I spilled the goods, it's my fault, but you can see for yourself, just how expensive your goods can be." ”

"You know a fart, you can't afford to pay for it whether it's expensive or not." Po retorted.

Chang Sheng had just found a big cart and brought it to this side, when he heard the sound of Bao and the bitter struggle, and vaguely heard the coolie talking about their goods, he frowned, his heart moved, and remembered what the old man said in the morning, he walked a few steps quickly, and the coolie had already picked up all the shrimp that had been spilled on the ground and threw them back into the basket, Chang Sheng came over and asked, "You just said that we can't do this goods?" Why not? ”

When the coolie saw that it was him, he said: "Your master is a reasonable man, you know whether this goods is good or not, and you still use me to sell coolies?" But if I spill a few shrimps, you're going to have to deduct my wages, that's not okay. ”

Chang Sheng didn't want to quarrel with these people on the dock, they were outsiders, and the dock was the territory of the Cao Gang, so whether they could provoke or not.

He hurriedly said a few polite words to prevaricate the matter, and after telling Ah Bao a few more words, he continued to hire a car.

This time, when he left, he had just caught a few shrimp and scallops and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

He left the dock and walked to the street, Ningbo Linhai, almost every street has shops selling dried seafood, but now all of them are closed, Chang Sheng finally knocked on the door of a shop, took out a tael of silver, and asked the guy in the shop to show him, how are these goods.

The guy looked at it, took it to the end of his nose and sniffed it, and then said to Chang Sheng: "It's a good product, but it's not valuable, you want such goods?" A while ago, everyone had it, but now it's gone. ”

Chang Sheng sighed in his heart, hurriedly piled up a smile, and took out another tael of silver. There was no business in the shop, and the shopkeeper was not there, so he only let this guy look at the shop, and the guy had nothing to do, and when he saw that Chang Sheng gave another one or two silver, he was happy, so he carefully told him about it.

"You have goods like this, but there are all the seafood shops that open them, but these in your hand should be high-quality, and there are only more than ten in Ningbo City that can come up with this kind of goods."

"But although this goods is good, it has not been properly stored, I don't know whether it is on the road or in the warehouse, it is damp and moldy."

Hearing this, Chang Gui was suspicious, damp and moldy? What's the matter, if the seafood is moldy, it will be rotten a long time ago, but these look very good.

The man saw that he didn't believe it, so he continued: "This goods in your hand have been processed with ingredients. ”

Speaking of which, the guy took a coarse porcelain tea bowl in his hand, took a few shrimps and scallops and threw them in, and then poured hot water, only to see a layer of bubbles gurgling out of the tea bowl, the guy took a chopstick and stirred it, and handed the tea bowl to Chang Sheng: "You just don't understand, you've eaten it, you have seen it, you take a closer look." ”

You still have to look carefully, where are the shrimp and scallops in the tea bowl, there is only a bowl of mush.

Winning is like falling into an ice cave.

"But it looks neat!" He almost cried, the guys in the Ningbo shop could know it, how could those seafood merchants in Hangzhou not see it? They were clearly deceived.

The guy laughed and said: "Who doesn't have this way to do this, but everyone is doing long-term trading, unless there is a customer who specifies this kind of goods, otherwise even if the goods are thrown away, the shops are not willing to smash their own signboards." ”

"You're saying someone came here on purpose?" Chang Sheng asked in a trembling voice.

The guy realized that he had lost his words, but this matter had nothing to do with his own family, and he didn't have to hide it, so he said: "Wet and moldy goods, all of them have them, but your goods were originally of the highest grade, and there are only a dozen or so in Ningbo City that can have this goods, and these ten or so are all time-honored brands, and they are all big deals. ”
